Free Music Notes for Stand Up
Free Music Review: Sloppily Produced, Poorly Played, and Easily Forgotten
Hit: 1 Stars
I don't even know where to start with this album. It feels like it was so sloppily and quickly put together. The segue between Hello Again and Louisiana Bayou is truly terrible, not to mention the fact that they ruined Hello Again (a previously dynamite live song) completely. Dave's vocals slip past that "terribly lovable" stage and into the "so grainy and harsh that it hurts me" stage. Worst of all... where is the band? It feels like no one in the band is doing anything on this album, and when they are it seems simple and uninteresting.
Bottom line: there is not a single song worth listening to on this album. If you want to hear DMB at their absolute worst, listen to "Dream Girl," "Old Dirt Hill," or "Hunger For the Great Light." If you want them at their absolute best, pick up Before These Crowded Streets.
Everyday may have been a sell-out, but at least it created a buzz and made for interesting (if not disappointed) listening. Stand Up, on the other hand, warrants no listening at all.
Stand Up Poster
Don't let the headless CGI dancer on the cover fool you. While Stand Up has a more organic feel than 2001's radio-ready Everyday, it is hardly an invocation for carefree days spent twirling on the grass. Instead it is a call to arms that carries over much of the insurrectionary spirit the Dave Matthews Band brought to 2004's Vote for Change Tour. Matthews, sounding rawer than ever, swerves between optimism ("To change the world you only start with one step," he sings on "You Might Die Trying") and angst ("See the man with the bomb in his hand/Everybody wake up," on "Everybody Wake Up [Our Finest Hour Arrives]"), while producer Mark Baston, best known for his small-time work with big-name pop acts like Beyonce and 50 Cent, responds by putting the marching band rhythms of Carter Beauford in the front and galvanizing the music with a crisp R&B edge, most evident in the totally--okay, partially--crunk "Stolen Away on 55th & 3rd." --Aidin VaziriThe DVD side of the DualDisc will feature a 20+ minute film featuring the making of STAND UP with in-depth interviews with DMB at their recording studio in Charlottesville, VA.
